Wandering In the Woods Analogy

I am like a wolf on a treacherous walk through a shady forest that never seems to end. I never know what I might find in this forest because there is a surprise behind every towering eerie tree. I have run into bears that have maimed me to a point where I had to crawl until my wounds healed into scars and my strength returned, but as I crawled the entire time, the progress of my healing was slowed because it ripped open the scars and took a lot of strength to go on. I have come across mocking ravens that pick at my wounds and squawk horrible songs at me. Every time I tried to yell back at the raven, all it did was squawk louder and grow crueler in its songs. I have also come upon packs of wolves that snap and snarl, simulating behavior that made me feel unwelcome. Every time I got near any of these packs, even submissively, they would bite at me and then turn immediately away and ignore me until I tried to submissively join their group again. But, I have run into other wolves that have had a life journey similar to my own. They are just as cautious as I am though because they are a lone wolf like myself and have been attacked and mocked as well. Once we cautiously inspect one another and slowly get to know each other, we become loyal to each other as wolves should be. It makes me a stronger wolf, having others by my side, knowing that they care for me. I slowly built up my pack, but sometimes members of the pack find other packs to join. I howl at the Great Moon in the Sky in sorrow for the ones I have lost, for the help that I need, but I always try to remember to howl in happiness for the ones that I have met and that have stayed. I will continue my walk through the shady forest, howling at the Great Moon in the Sky daily, running into good and bad surprises everywhere.
